Like many an NES game from Metroid to the Legend of Zelda, this obscure EarthBound prequel is more an interesting proof of concept for ideas that would bloom into glorious brilliance on the SNES than a truly great game of its own accord. Still worth a look for the sake of sheer curiosity for an EarthBound nut like myself though.

The only RPGs I really played from the NES era were Final Fantasy 1 and this. I loved FF1 despite all its glitches and otherwise poor programming, and I liked this one a lot too. I did a complete playthrough recently, and found myself enjoying it even more than Earthbound on the SNES. Maybe that will change if I do a fresh playthrough of the sequel though.
